folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing
temperature for 0.1 second about 170°C (338 °F). The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.
•For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm from the
edges of the envelope.
•Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
printers.
•When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature
about 170°C (338°F).
-Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them.
Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing
serious jams.
-Curl: Must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.
-Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
•Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels.
Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause
paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to machine
components.
2. Basic Setup

Media and tray
•Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The
adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the machine.
•Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled,
bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock/ Custom-sized paper
•In the software application, set the margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches)
away from the edges of the material.
Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an
uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn
the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
•Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing
temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)).
•Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely
affect machine rollers.
•Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry.
During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing
print quality.

Using the output support
The surface of the output tray may become hot if you print a large number
of pages at once. Make sure that you do not touch the surface, and do not
allow children near it.
The printed pages stack on the output support, and the output support will help
the printed pages to align. The printer sends output to the output tray by
default.

Preparing originals
•Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm (5.6 x 5.8 inches) or larger than
216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).
•Do not attempt to load the following paper in order to prevent paper jam,
low print quality and machine damage.
-Carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper
-Coated paper
-Onion skin or thin paper
-Wrinkled or creased paper
-Curled or rolled paper
-Torn paper
•Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.
•Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry
before loading.
•Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.
•Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents with other
unusual characteristics.

Storing the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature
and humidity. Dell suggests users follow these recommendations to ensure
optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Dell toner
cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be used.
This should be in controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The toner
cartridge should remain in its original and unopened package until installation
– if original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the cartridge
with paper and store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful shelf
and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is removed
from the printer, follow the instructions below to store the toner cartridge
properly.
•Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.
•Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it
were installed in the machine.
•Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:
-An environment where corrosive gases are present.
-An environment with salty air.
1
Handling instructions
•Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the cartridge.
•Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
•Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this can
cause internal damage and toner spillage.
2
Toner cartridge usage
Dell Inc. does not recommend or approve the use of non-Dell brand toner
cartridges in your printer including generic, store brand, refilled, or
remanufactured toner cartridges.
-Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
-Humidity range less than 20% or greater than 80%.
-An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
-Direct sunlight or room light.
-Dusty places.
-A car for a long period of time.
Dell’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused by
the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Dell branded toner cartridges.

Estimated cartridge life
Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the
amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield may vary
depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating
environment, percentage of image area, printing interval, media type and/or
media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the
toner is higher and you may need to change the cartridge more often.
3. Maintenance
50
Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
•White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side.
•The Status LED blinks red. In the case of machine with a Toner LED, it blinks orange.
If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still
occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
Illustrations on this user’s guide may differ from your machine depending on its options or models. Check your machine type (see "Front view" on page 17).
•To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.
•Do not touch the green area of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
•Do not use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge.
•If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
•When opening a scan unit, hold the document feeder and scan unit together.
